The polygon map/Han support

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Let's try some non-Latin scripts ...

projection = equalarea
size       = 600 600
lat        = 60 20
long       = 120 150
out        = jpkr7.png
background = political
cities     = data/cities.jp
locale     = jp
clabels
borders
font       = ../fonts/kochi-gothic.ttf

Well, it's not perfect. Label for Japan is much too small. No labels for Japanese islands yet.

As for cities, except for the obvious ones like Toukyou, I don't know kanji names for Japanese cities. And I definitely don't know how are Japanese calling Chinese and Korean cities (Russian aren't that hard - they never had own Han writing).

Vertical labels should be seriously considered.
